I've decided to create this thread in order to start discussing and helping with the recreation of LEGO Video Game Adaptation pages. I wanted to start with LEGO DC as that is the verse that's the most fleshed out regarding its own story. I'll write out some things I'd like to discuss for profiles. Sorry if I talk a bit like this is in the content revision threads section at times.
A) Batman and Robin are musts, of course. Of course, lets be sure to differentiate each Robin. In LB1, its Dick Grayson, who is later Nightwing. In LB2 and LB3, its Tim Drake. In LDSV, its Damien Wayne. For other heroes, each main member of the Justice League requires pages.
B) Regarding villains, there's some obvious musts such as Joker, Lex Luthor, etc. I do plan on making a Legion of Doom team profile, so there's going to be a lot more I plan on making.
C) The Rookie from LEGO DC Super-Villains. This character has a ton of different abilities and will definitely have a more unique page layout due to their growth throughout the story.
Most importantly, the scaling. This is something that will become easier with the help of calcs, but here is what I can say for now. In Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes, we are introduced to other DC characters. Superman is a primary protagonist alongside Batman. Naturally, the game displays a great difference in power between the two, as well as how other heroes such as Wonder Woman and Green Lantern are far superior to Batman. The consistency does not end there. In LEGO DC Super-Villains, there are occasions where Batman's lack of powers are referenced. These moments are used to emphasize that Bruce isn't somebody on the same level as Clark or Diana. Additionally, Shazam is able to take out Joker and Harley Quinn at once with a casual attack.
Some characters utilize powers that are greater than their physicality. Poison Ivy is a great example. Physically, she's on Batman and Robin's level. With her plants however, she can briefly restrict the likes of Ultraman. Speaking of which...
The Rookie. This is a character that certainly requires more than one key. There's a clear implication that the Rookie gets stronger as the game goes on. For example, Poison Ivy is able to restrain them for some time until they are later freed and join in defeating her. A few levels later, the Legion of Doom are speaking with one another. What Ivy says during this meeting is quite telling
"But Ultraman is so powerful. We have our limits, Lex. Apart from the walking power absorber here."
Lets look back to the Ivy fight. After the Rookie is freed, they actually absorb another ability. After this, Ivy fights alongside Rookie and some other villains. This was a character that Pamela was capable of restraining for a decent amount of time priorly, but in a short time span, she recognizes this newcomer as superior to most of the Legion (at the time). We also have the Motherbox absorption as well as the altering of the Anti-Life Equation that comes later with Rookie, but that's a little more complicated to get into.
I've already began ability searching for Rookie and will do so with several other characters. Speaking of which, I'd like to address this character in regards to the planned Legion of Doom team profile. If the Justice League get one as well, I do not believe the Rookie should be placed on the JL team profile despite there being an ending where they choose to become a hero. Despite the possibility of this choice, they don't really become an official member, at least not on screen. Meanwhile, the Rookie was accepted into the Legion of Doom early on and worked as their teammate for the entire game, with the chance of them becoming the Legion's new leader suggested should the player choose to remain a villain.
TL;DR: The Rookie will be on the Legion of Doom team page, but not the Justice League team page
Anyways, that was just a few things on my mind regarding this. Feel free to discuss feats, abilities, or just the games in general. And a reminder, this is relevant to the LEGO DC games. Not the animated content
